A couple of weeks back, Square Enix finally gave Final Fantasy XIV Bards the ability to play real music. Now YouTube is filling with great (and only occasionally terrible) Bard performances.

Considering the fact that Square Enix's has customers agree to buy FFXIV Gil not make use of the new Bard tools to recreate third-party music, the majority of the tunes displaying up on line are normal Final Fantasy fare. Here we see Solaris White plucking out the Chocobo theme with an appropriate companion.

While most Bards are beginning off simple, recreating easy tunes with a single voice, others are taking points to the next level, recording many tracks and splicing them together. MintormentGaming's version of "Matoya's Cave" is just beautiful.

Some Bard players, not content material with becoming limited towards the harp, make use of other in-game sound effects in their compositions. In an early attempt at multi-screen performance, Windy FFXIV makes use of hotbar switching noises as percussion although performing the game's Alexander boss fight theme. A lot more impressive, the performance is done employing gamepad controls instead of keyboard.

One of the most impressive Bards on YouTube so far is ADZDarkStone, whose multi-track performances are breathtaking. Right here is "Battle on the Significant Bridge."

Many of the extra complex Bard melodies are becoming developed making use of macros, pre-programmed directions that hit the best note with all the appropriate timing. ADZDarkStone doesn't do this, as demonstrated in his overall performance of "The Decisive Battle."

It really is good to view the tools becoming employed to recreate some attractive music. I was worried that, in the wrong hands, the feature could be utilised for evil.
